A Bayesian data assimilation framework for lake 3D hydrodynamic models with a physics-preserving particle filtering method using SPUX-MITgcm v1

Damien Bouffard, Camille Roland Marie Minaudo, Cintia Luz Ramon Casanas, Firat Ozdemir

We present a Bayesian inference for a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model of Lake Geneva with stochastic weather forcing and high-frequency observational datasets. This is achieved by coupling a Bayesian inference package, SPUX, with a hydrodynamics packa ...

CO2-Driven diffusiophoresis and water cleaning: similarity solutions for predicting the exclusion zone in a channel flow

Mrudhula Baskaran

We investigate experimentally and theoretically diffusiophoretic separation of negatively charged particles in a rectangular channel flow, driven by CO2 dissolution from one side-wall. Since the negatively charged particles create an exclusion zone near th ...

A plane‐strain hydraulic fracture driven by a shear‐thinning Carreau fluid

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Lucas Pereira

We study the propagation of a plane‐strain hydraulic fracture driven by a shear thinning fluid following a Carreau rheology. We restrict to the impermeable medium case and quantify in details the impact on fracture growth of the shear‐thinning properties o ...

Swirl number based transposition of flow-induced mechanical stresses from reduced scale to full-size Francis turbine runners

François Avellan, Christian Landry, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Keita Yamamoto, Joao Gomes Pereira Junior

At part load conditions, Francis turbines are subject to the emergence of a hydrodynamic instability in their draft tube, referred to as precessing vortex rope. It induces pressure pulsations in the water passages at the precession frequency of the vortex, ...

Shape optimisation of technical devices via gradient descent using convolutional neural network proxies

Pascal Fua, François Fleuret, Pierre Bruno Baqué

The present invention generally relates to a method, a system and a computer program for shape optimisation of a technical device adapted to be exposed to a fluid flowing around a contour of said device with respect to its fluid dynamic parameters. In orde ...

Experiments versus theory for the initiation and propagation of radial hydraulic fractures in low permeability materials

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

We compare numerical predictions of the initiation and propagation of radial fluid-driven fractures with laboratory experiments performed in different low permeability materials (PMMA, cement). In particular, we choose experiments where the time evolution ...

Dynamic behavior of rock during its post failure stage in SHPB tests

Yang Zou, Yang Zhao, Xin Cai

In order to investigate the micro-process and inner mechanism of rock failure under impact loading, the laboratory tests were carried out on an improved split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system with synchronized measurement devices including a high-speed ...

Hydroacoustic Modeling of a Cavitation Vortex Rope for a Francis Turbine

Christian Landry

Hydraulic machines subject to off-design operation involve the presence of cavitating flow regimes in the draft tube. The cavitation vortex rope at part load conditions is described as an excitation source for the hydraulic system, and interactions between ...

Turbulence anisotropy in a compound meandering channel with different submergence conditions

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca

The understanding of the physical processes related to flows on compound meandering channels is a challenge given their highly 3D and complex characteristics. Three-dimensional ADV measurements were made in three cross-sections on a 1:20 physical Froude mo ...

Two-phase air-water flows: Scale effects in physical modelling

Michael Pfister

Physical modeling represents probably the oldest design tool in hydraulic engineering together with analytical approaches. In free surface flows, the similitude based upon a Froude similarity allows for a correct representation of the dominant forces, name ...
